I think it's original purpose is not use driver_name directly in below scnprintf function call.
You can change drivers_name below to s.

	/* Main Control Registers */
	t = scnprintf(next, size, "%s version %s,"
		"chiprev %02x, locctl %02x\n"
		"irqenb0 %02x irqenb1 %02x "
		"irqstat0 %02x irqstat1 %02x\n",
		driver_name, driver_vers, dev->chiprev,
